DAILY MAUL: BLOGGING THE FUTURE at "Casaubon's Book"
Submitted by Rob Williams on Thu, 05/08/2008 - 9:34am.
With so many self-indulgent and relatively useless blog sites out
there, it is always refreshing to find a new and provocative one.
Such is the case with "Casaubon's Book,"created by writer, teacher and
subsistence farmer Sharon Astyk back in 2004 (around the time we founded
this multimedia newspaper.)
I spent some time reading Sharon's work this morning.
I find myself appreciating her wide range
of wisdom, frank talk, and humility.
I am now RSS'ed up, and I look
forward to reading more.
DAILY MAUL: PEAK OIL PREPARATION-A List of "100 Things You Can Do"
Submitted by Rob Williams on Thu, 05/08/2008 - 9:18am.
I so appreciate "to do" lists during these interesting times.
Solutions are so much more important to identify than problems.
Thanks to Carolyn Baker for passing on Sharon's wonderful blog to us.
We're feeling pretty good over here, looking over this list, and is a good one.
Moving in the right direction, perhaps.

Right. We're not a Gannett-owned giant corporate commercial behemoth for nothing.
Check out the story.
And remember - KEEP IT IN VERMONT.

The Energy Optimist: If Only I Were King Of Vermont
Submitted by Gaelan Brown on Tue, 04/29/2008 - 11:36pm.
Vermont needs to become energy and food independent. We have plenty of wind, solar, biomass, and hydro-power resource-potential to meet our needs. We have plenty of agricultural and water resources. We have plenty of smart and motivated people. What's missing? The problem is that most of us are too busy paying the bills to create real political action and the people in charge of course want to preserve the status quo that put them in charge.
